Strategic Partnerships

We are officially joining BioMADE to drive innovation in the US bioindustrial supply chain.

We are proud to announce that we have officially joined BioMADE (Bioindustrial Manufacturing and Design Ecosystem).

This membership marks a significant step forward in our mission to drive innovation in manufacturing and defense capabilities. By partnering with BioMADE, we are joining a nationwide network dedicated to securing and modernizing the US bioindustrial supply chain-a critical component of national security and industrial resilience.

Hitting the Ground Running

We are not just joining the network; we are actively contributing to it. We are already engaged in several key initiatives designed to bridge the gap between biological research and industrial application:

1. Nitration Expertise for Critical Biomaterials We are leveraging our specialized capabilities to serve as a key nitration partner. This work focuses on processing critical biomaterials that are essential for high-performance applications, ensuring that bio-based precursors can meet rigorous industrial standards.

2. Supply Chain Resilience: Alternative Cellulose Dependence on single-source feedstocks is a strategic vulnerability. We are currently exploring and validating alternative cellulose feedstocks for MILSPEC energetics. This initiative aims to diversify the supply chain, ensuring that the materials needed for national defense are available regardless of global market fluctuations.

3. Future Tech: Bio-Energetics Research Looking beyond immediate applications, we are driving broad research into the next generation of bio-energetics. This forward-looking initiative explores how biomanufacturing can unlock new compounds and performance characteristics that traditional chemistry alone cannot achieve.

We look forward to working with our partners across the BioMADE ecosystem to build a more resilient, sustainable, and capable industrial base for the future.
